But. earlier than that. in fact. at. the age of sixty- nine. the abstainer and the heavy drinker have precisely the. same life expectancy. which is to say. til-36 years. From that. time on the heavy drinker has a somewhat. su-i perior expectation to that. of thee abstainer. The reason for this is: plain: If a man is a heavy drinker and lives to be seventy years. it is. clear that he has an unusual con-; stttutiou or that in his system hasi been set up some resistance that. the abstainer lacks to the ravages; Hi. :lit‘OilHi :lllt'i Olilt‘l‘ threat. \Viiiti tit-- heavy drinker the first seventy years are the hardest.

"(ml the contrary." says this learnedi biologist. “moderate drinkers and? particularly moderate. st e a d y? drinkers show a small but consis-; tent superiority in longevity to; any other ch ss of persons who‘ were investigated." Some of his statistical data were supplied by the records of the Johns Hopkins Hospital concerning the autopsies ot‘ thirty-four years. He chose these statistics in preference to those supplied by insurance companies. because the latter pool all drinkers. moderate and heavy. Other statis- tics upon which he drew are the family records of the Institute for Biological Research of the Johns Hepkins. They consist of elaborate and detailed original pedigrees. selected by a staff of eugenic field workers. acting under his direction and specially trained for this in- vestigation.
